Program description
Drew's anthropology major, with one foot in the sciences (both social and biological) and the other in the humanities, takes a holistic approach to the study of humankind, drawing on cross-cultural and evolutionary perspectives to help students construct a more inclusive and insightful view of humans and humanity. Fieldwork and laboratory experience will provide students with hands-on exposure in cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistics.
Students majoring in Anthropology are encouraged to participate in summer field programs, internships, and semester-long academic programs during their junior year.
